Desert Defenders

When our desert is under attack, we fight back!

The Mojave Desert Land Trust launched its Desert Defenders campaign in response to April’s executive order instructing the Department of the Interior to review national monuments designated by the Antiquities Act.

We asked you to rally. You all rallied with us all across the desert.

We asked you to comment. You all gave us over 1,200 comments for us to present to our elected officials.

No matter the outcome, we know that our Desert Defenders community is ready to fight for our desert lands.

Thank you all for submitting your public comments. Sign up for our email list to receive updates about what is happening with our public lands.
